Ten-Foot-Square Hut

The Ten-Foot Square Hut is more of a story book to me rather than any religion related book. Kamo no Chomei describe the arrival of the mappo is complete chaos. First, there is a huge fire broke out on a windy night in the third year of the Angen era(1177) in the capital city. The fire was spread widely. Houses were torched; people were chocked to death by smoke or burned to death alive. The result of the fire was “Sixteen mansions of the nobility were consumed by the fire, to say nothing of untold numbers of other dwellings. Fully one third of the capital was destroyed; several thousand men and women perished.” Second, there is a huge whirlwind hit the capital again in the Jisho ear(1180). Four or five blocks of the city were destroyed. People lost their house, belongings, and lives. The southwestern area next to the city was damaged as well due to the wind moved that way down. Third, the relocation of the capital and changing in politics. New capital was built in a different location up north in the mountain area by the sea. Kamo no chomei was also noticed the persons that he knew were riding on horses like the warrior clans instead of sitting in ox cart. People were still living in the fear of the fire. Fourth, the hunger comes around the Yowa era (1181-1182). Typhoons and floods destroyed farm lands and grain. It lasted 2 years. Many people were dead and grain were worth more than gold. Fifth, earthquake. Kamo no chomei mentioned the destruction of all temples first time. Last, People’s mind changed. People’s desire of wealth grows. They become greedy. This is the arrival of the mappo to Kamo no Chomei. It’s like everything that is known to people were destroyed and the old believes were collapsed. Nothing is going to the right direction. Kamo no chomei’s hut measures ten feet square in area and less than seven feet in height. The eaves extend...

...The Square
The idea of a paperless monetary system takes a big leap forward thanks to the Square credit card reader. No longer is there a need for an expensive credit card machine that is fixed to a land line. Owners of an iPhone, iPad, or an Android device are now able to swipe credit card payments anywhere at anytime and have it deposited directly into their bank account.
The Square is a 1 3/4” x 9/10” x 1/2” cubed shaped plastic piece of hardware that plugs directly into the 3.5mm audio jack of a device. From there it works with an application that must be downloaded and installed. Once installation is complete there is a simple setup procedure to connect the application to the desired bank account and it’s ready. After the account is setup access to the service is just a touch of the screen away every time.
With the application open select the” swipe card” option. The “swipe card” option has a cheaper service charge than the “enter numbers” option. After that you will be able to take a picture of the merchandise being sold. Then, enter the amount to be charged hit enter and swipe the card. The card information will pop up on the screen for confirmation. Finally, the customer must sign their name on the touch screen and a receipt is sent to their email.

What is Trench Foot?
Many soldiers who fought in the First World War suffered from trench foot. Trench foot is a medical condition caused by long period of time in wet, cold conditions such as waterlogged trenches (5). It is one of many immersion foot syndromes—resembling frostbite (3). The use of the word “trench” in the name of the disease is referencing to the trench warfare and it mainly happened on soldiers’ feet (5). During World War One trench foot was known for a “nonbattle casualties” (Bull .67). It can be quite painful, but it can be prevented and treated. This letter describes how painful it was to have trench foot and how easily soldiers could loose their feet and legs from this horrible “If you have never had trench foot described to you, I will explain.

Foot Binding: The Price of Beauty
Foot binding is the practice of wrapping the feet of younger girls to prevent further growth, usually tied to the Chinese culture. Around the 18th century, foot binding was viewed to be very erotic and appealing leading many women to partake in this action. After many objections and calls for reform the practice of foot binding died out. It is unfair to expect women to painfully bind their feet just to please men and that is why the Chinese restricted the practice. However, in today’s American society women are still expected to jeopardize their health in order to look good.
The movement of foot binding really spread during the Song Dynasty. Foot binding usually occurred any time between the ages of four to six because anything after that and the girl’s feet would be too big. It became a wide spread practice in China due to multiple legends portraying the gracefulness of small feet. One such legend talks about the concubine of a Chinese prince and her walk that looked as if she, “skimmed over the top of golden lilies” (Chinese Foot Binding). Stories like this persuaded many women to bind their feet, as they saw it as majestic. Another reason this technique became popular is that foot binding stopped concubines and wives of rich men from running away from beatings (Chinese...

The creatures North American habitat covers over 125,000 square miles of forest, contained in the states of Oregon, Washington, and California, constituting a large number of Native American tribes to encounter and frighten (Gaffron, 22). This phenomenon is not just a Native American one told by medicine men, and tribe leaders, Bigfoot plays an enormous role in the ancient folklore of such civilizations as, the Russians, Greeks, and Anglo-Saxons (Brunvand). These civilizations have been around for hundreds of years, and have been telling stories of Bigfoot long before any one; they hold the true key to Bigfoot's history.

...The Chinese Tradition during the Dynasties:
The painful Tradition of Foot Binding
I decided to write my paper on foot binding and what this really meant to the Chinese women. This began first began in China, and it was first discovered by the wealthy and rich. When I first learned about the foot binding and looked at the pictures I learned that it was very painful and it took time for the Chinese to get their feet smaller. As, I learned more about this topic I have learned that foot binding was a tradition to the Chinese women. This topic does have a connection with me because it kind of reminds me of the time I wore a pair of shoes that did not fit me. I wanted to wear the pair of shoes because they went with my outfit.
The practice of foot binding first began in the 10th century and continued all the way until the early 20th century. The practice first started with a binding a young girl’s feet that was tightly wrapped black cloth around the foot. Foot binding rapidly spread from one palace to all over the country. It eventually became cultural custom throughout China. The traditional historical view from the Chinese people who practice foot binding states that this was done to create an erotic, beautiful, and thus marriage worthy girl through her tiny feet. The feet stood as an erotic symbol as well as a way to create male dominance over women. Chinese...
